don't buy the cheap ebay arms. they are ****.

Get meyle or lemfoder (oe)

Yes tighten the bushes with car in laden position.

 

[Turbo-mick]

So when I lower it shall I loosen them again and nip them when the car on the ground

Yes you should loosen the top and bottom arms when your lowing the car, otherwise your putting excess strain on the bushes.

As above the cheap arm sets will last 6 months then they will need replacing again, you would only put them if your trying to sell the the car and are looking for a cheap fix.

Ok cheers lads how much am I looking at for a good set of all 8

 

[Turbo-mick]

What about drop links too shall I nip then when its flat down

You should be able to get a meyle HD for around £350, I would also do the drop links
